    Answer: A. $70,000

    No

    Explanation:

    Opportunity cost is the cost of forgone opportunity. It is what Jing would have earned ($70000) if she didn't start her business.

    Even though Jing is making an accounting profit, her economic profit is negative,$-20,000.

    Economic profit = Accounting profit - Opportunity cost
